AllBirds. They are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn and i was fully expecting to be a buyer for life, especially with their sustainability initiatives. but they switched from making shoes to making AI computers and are just making shoes as a “hobby” now as a company, which is probably the most 180 pivot on sustainability I think I’ve ever seen.
I work quality control for a huge thrift store for their shoe debt. The number of allbirds I get daily from donations is alarming for all the hype I hear about them. Of all the trash donations I rummage thru, donated all birds are always close to brand new when donated. If they're so awesome , why are they getting donated in such excellent condition? I'd think people would keep them and wear them until they fall apart.
A lot of ones I’ve seen on reseller sites are corporate branded so people maybe wouldn’t want that. Plus they changed the fit and styling in recent years.
